Computer Tip: Custom Photo Mattes |
| |
| Putting a matte behind a photo on an album
page is like framing a favorite photo. With a home printer and scanner,
it’s easy to make custom mattes for special photos. Here are some
ideas: |
 |
Download seasonal, colorful patterned pages
for free from the www.printlabseries.com web site. You’ll find these
in the scrapbooking section. A variety of ready-to-print patterns for page
backgrounds or photo mattes. |
|
Create backgrounds you’ll never see anywhere
else. Use your scanner and your own imagination. |
|
Take a photo you love and pick one element to
scan as a matte. Have fun scanning 3-D items but remember to cover the lid
of the scanner with a dark cloth so you don’t allow any light in. |
|
Layer more than one photo. For example take
a photo of sand or seashells like these, and then place a photo of the kids
at the beach right over it. Print them out on photo paper, and they will
really be the stars of your album pages. |
